I Love Comic Books!

Happy New Comics Wednesday!

My comics

ACTION COMICS #1019

GREEN LANTERN BLACKSTARS #3

JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK #19

CRIMINAL #12 – Pick of the week – How could it not be? It’s the last issue of the “Cruel Summer” arc. Hey, did you know you can read the first issue for free at Image Comics? https://imagecomics.com/read/criminal

Very light week for me, and not enough independent comic books.

Other comics

ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN JOSE LUIS GARCIA LOPEZ HC VOL 02 – Garcia Lopez’s work was the first art I was drawn to. I hope I can pick these hard covers up later (but soon)!

FAR SECTOR #1 – Buzz is that this book is great. I’ll be getting the trade.

SEX CRIMINALS #26 – The beginning of the end. I’m really curious if this series sticks the landing.

FANTASTIC FOUR GRAND DESIGN TP – I haven’t read any of the Grand Design books, but I want to eventually.

Post these under the title makes them sound like fun comics to read:

ALICE SECRET AGENT OF WONDERLAND YR GN

APOCALYPSE GIRL #1

GINSENG ROOTS #3 – I can’t wait to read the latest work by Craig Thompson in a collected format.

NILS TREE OF LIFE HC – I thought about getting this when it was solicited. Maybe down the road.

Best comic I read recently

Despite my love of the late 70s television series starring Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno (did I ever tell you I met Ferrigno once at a car show in Spokane, Washington?), I do not care for the Hulk as a character. It just goes to show you that under artful hands, even mediocre IP can be part of a damn good story. Issues 11-13 especially were magnifique! I loved how everyone melded words and art in such a heartbreakingly beautiful way that transcended the sum of its parts and made me care for this dumb, green guy. I highly recommend this series.
